Deflector

(1) Exhaust equipment installed on the outside end of a pipe (shaft), most frequently in order to remove impure air from various premises and from railroad cars. Sometimes deflectors are used to bring air into premises, for instance, into a ship. A deflector works by using the energy of air (wind) flowing around it. Deflectors are usually made of sheet metal (steel); concrete, asbestoscement mixtures, and other materials are sometimes used. A deflector must be installed in such a way that the wind will always flow around the deflector regardless of the wind direction; the orifice (mouth) of the pipe must be protected from atmospheric precipitation. The most widely used types of deflectors are the TSAGI (Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute) and Shanar-Etual’ models.

(2) A device for measurement and elimination of deviation in a magnetic compass.

Sabic states the Valox resin grade selected for the water deflector delivers up to 216[degrees]C in heat resistance, while also offering an excellent balance of chemical resistance, dimensional stability and impact performance.

Who knows if my flame deflectors are an original idea that no one in the history of woodfiring has ever tried, but I do feel as if I am starting to think outside of the traditional way of working in a wood kiln which, I believe, will move me towards finding my own voice within the process.

Simulations were run where the initial T-deflector shape was varied in the 2D domain and results showed that energy losses were more influenced by the aperture, measured from the deflector tip to the side wall, than variations in its general shape.
